Xenoestrogens are chemicals that mimic estrogen in your body. Xeno means foreign, so the term xenoestrogen simply means estrogen that comes from a foreign source. Xenoestrogens are also referred to as:

Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDC's)

Hormone Disrupting Chemicals

Hormone Disruptors

Xenobiotics

Fake Estrogens

Estrogen Mimicking Chemicals

and many other names....

Xenoestrogens mimic estrogen in your body, wreaking havoc on your hormonal balance and potentially creating a myriad of problems. Recent research indicates that xenoestrogens are affecting the world we live in from male alligators unable to reproduce to parabens being linked to breast cancer in women. Most personal care products are riddled with xenoestrogens such as phthalates, parabens, petroleum chemicals and come packaged in BPA or BPS plastic containers. Xenoestrogen chemicals can also suppress the hormones in your thyroid, causing fatigue, muscle and joint pain, along with endometriosis, fibrocystic breast disease, ovarian cysts, migraines, severe PMS, uterine cysts, increased breast and uterine cancer, reduced testosterone in males and even behavioral changes.

Colloidal silver is simply just silver suspended in water. A colloid is a particle that's broken down to a smaller size so that it becomes suspended in a liquid.

Silver is naturally found in our food and water supply. Many people ingest colloidal silver and claim it has cured them of different ailments. Colloidal silver has very powerful potential when used against viruses, bacteria and other harmful molds and fungi. Colloidal silver's popularity as an antibiotic peaked in the 1920's to 1930's before pharmaceutical-based antibiotics became the medicine of choice.

At Zero Xeno we use colloidal silver in our household cleaners to assist you in making healthy choices and reducing your exposure to endocrine disrupting antibacterials like Triclosan. Toilets, sinks and kitchen counters can harbor a plethora of pathogens, which in turn can contaminate you and your loved ones. Colloidal Silver is an easy and simple way to keep your home clean and safe. Zero Xeno Toilet Bowl Natural Cleaner and Multi-Purpose Natural Cleaner both contain colloidal silver.

Natural organic acids reveal smoother, brighter and fresher skin and allow increased absorption of beneficial ingredients into the skin. Kombucha naturally contains various other nutrients that are essential for healthy skin function. Learn More!
